Elective Joint Replacement Surgical Considerations:

In order to minimize the risk of surgical complications, we will work with patients seeking elective joint replacement to address modifiable risk factors prior to surgery.  We will continue to see and treat patients conservatively in conjunction with the primary care provider but would like to share the following goals for the benefit of patient expectations and education prior to consultation about joint replacement.  All of these factors have been shown to increase the risk of perioperative infection.

  • Uncontrolled diabetes (A1C >7.2)
  • Currently smokers (must be smoke free for 2 months prior to surgery)
  • BMI超过40
